Examples of colinearity found between overlapping rice BACs and segments of the Arabidopsis genome. (A) Colinear segment between rice BACs (P0005H10, P0414E03, and P0529H11) and part of the Arabidopsis chromosome 3. Arrows indicate genes present on the genomic segment (black line), black bands connectingArabidopsis and rice genes indicate anchor points (homologs), whereas gray bands indicate a tandem duplication. Genes probably erroneously predicted in rice are indicated in red (see text for details). LTRs are represented as hatched boxes. White boxes indicate gene products with similarity to proteins encoded by transposable elements. (gag) Retrotransposon gag protein; (rve) integrase core domain; (rvt) reverse transcriptase (RNA-dependent DNA polymerase); (rvp) retroviral aspartyl protease; (MUDR) MuDR family transposase. (B) Colinear segment between rice BACs (P0506B12 and P0031D11) and a segment of Arabidopsis chromosome 3.
